You'll never look at your dentist the same way after seeing this flick.

You'll never look at your dentist the same way after seeing this flick.

I have yet to meet an actual dentist who admits to have ever even heard of this flick. Are they all just trying to change the subject, or are most dentists dull, uninspiring people without interests?

Mine loves it. Along with the 90s horror film The Dentist.

I suspect they are tired of having the same conversation about it, so they have probably wondered why people are so dull and uninspired that they can't talk about a different movie with dentists.

Note that Peggy Cummins - she of Gun Crazy - was in this mostly forgotten British comedy.

forgotten but a good comedy. Now back to Marathon Man 4K which I viewed last night and the picture quality is a definite improvement over previous standard BD . The color scheme in parts has been altered slightly and I like it . Sound seems OK as before.
